Nelson Monument - Added to Monuments in South East

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

The Nelson Monument, 120 feet (37 m) tall on a granite base, stands on Portsdown Hill about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Portsmouth Harbour on the south coast of England. It was the eventual outcome of a movement started during Horatio Nelson's lifetime to "perpetuate the glorious victories of the British Navy". By 1799 Nelson's prize agent Alexander Davison was able to use the Nelson name to spearhead a campaign to honour "Britain's naval glory and pre-eminence". It was, however, Nelson's death at Trafalgar, 21 October 1805, that galvanized the campaign.

On the road opposite the monument is parking and take off.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 14/05/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
